Well that makes them either naive or stupid. They should have tried to acquire a license from Sun whilst they were friendly towards Android.
And I don't know what planet the author is from but Google having to pay royalties for Android wouldn't change the mobile market at all. Ask Microsoft.

Google does not pay royalties for Android, and neither does Motorola or Sony. Notice that only vendors that also sell Windows pay the royalty.
